Board of Directors

Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation's Board of Directors advises, assists, and aids in our efforts to be at the forefront of breast cancer research and to promote education and advocacy in the community.

A Letter From the CEO

Dear Friends,

Several months ago, the Board of Directors of Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation embarked on a strategic planning process to create a three- to five-year plan. We engaged a professional consulting team, who conducted an “environmental scan” by holding interviews and focus groups, and surveyed some of our key constituent groups, including Army of Women® members and advocates.

A Letter From the CEO

Dear Friends,

Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation is, as you likely know by now, dedicated to a future without breast cancer. For us, that means conducting research into the cause of breast cancer so we can learn how to stop it before it starts. This isn’t a popular area of research. Cure is much sexier. Cure means you’re fixing people and that makes you a savior.
